Hour 1: Grab your Glasses!

Good morning, Wisconsin, good morning, world.

It's a new day.

Thanks for kicking it off with us right here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Got Melissa, Seth and James here with you.

We hope you're having a fantastic Monday out there.

Thanks for kicking off your week with us.

We got good things lined up for you.

We're going to get into some entertainment news and a little bit.

Got some of that in the right stories.

Good stories of the day that we'll touch on some local events.

But it's a Monday and the 9 o'clock hour.

You know what that means.

It's something good.

Hello and welcome to the kitchen's open on WFHR.

Today we're delighted to bring you a segment with the topic requested by a listener.

It might have been an April Fool's Day joke, but sadly, Melissa can't take a joke.

Or not, Sally, in this case, smoked meat is amazing.

True.

Hey, our listeners have spoken.

Smoked meat it is.

All hail smoked meat.

This calls for a poem.

Early morning, stroke the smoker, taint no job for a slacken joker, rub that meat and

let it set for tasty grub.

One won't forget.

If you like the cue all smoking, let it cook in all slow and pokey.

Friends will come out of the wood asking just a taste if I could.

Share the bounty.

Make folk grin and stroke the smoke and start again.

Oh, excellent.

Did you write that, Melissa?

No, I did not.

Okay.

That was checking.

That was a lot of fun.

That was good.

I like that.

I really appreciate that.

Be getting to do that.

That was great.

Very, very cool.

That comes from us from David MC4 on the SmokingMeatForums.com.

You can go ahead and find it right there.

SmokingMeatForums.com.

He's from the greater San Diego area and shared this delightful poem back in 2011.

Very nice.

Now let's get down to business.

So according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Smoking, as in food processing, is the exposure

of cured meat and fish products to smoke for the purpose of preserving them and increasing

their palatability by adding flavor and imparting a rich brown color.

However, what James described in his poem is actually called Hot Smoking.

Because I'm smoking, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Cheese.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

Absolutely.

Burning over here.

Yeah.

Is anybody else's mouth drooling as soon as we start talking about this?

I'm telling you, man.

God.

It's so awesome.

Let's keep it moving.

Alright, Michigan State University MSU Extension describes Hot Smoking as the process where

meat is slowly cooked and smoked at the same time.

Now this adds flavor to the meat, but doesn't actually have the same preservative effects

as smoking to process the food for storage.

That is correct.

There is some very specific precautions you should take in the interest of food safety

when hot smoking meat, but we'll get to that later.

First, let's talk about the history of smoking meat.

According to Wikipedia, the practice of smoking meat originated in the paleolithic era.

Whoa.

That's like more than three million years ago.

Yeah.

It's actually considered one of the first food preparation techniques.

That's because smoke meat is delicious.

Oh, yeah.

It's not just smoke, but it was also a food preservation technique.

For that, the meat would first have to be cured.

Was it sick?

Was it?

Oh.

Oh.

So, doctors were the first chefs.

We're all gone.

And he's going with it now.

Curing means to use salt to draw out moisture out of the meat and slow microbe growth that causes

the meat to spoil.

If you don't have salt, you can also cure meat by dehydration.

Once the moisture is removed, the meat is smoked for further preservative properties.

The chemicals present in wood smoke, for example, formaldehyde and certain alcohols are natural

preservatives.

Wait.

There's formaldehyde in my smoked meat.

I did not okay that.

It does not seem like a good thing.

Well, according to the American Cancer Society, formaldehyde occurs naturally in the environment

and even inside our bodies.

It's found in some fruit and is sometimes found in cosmetics, soaps, shampoo's lotions,

sunscreens, and cleaning products.

Obviously, we don't want to be consuming massive amounts of formaldehyde, whatever the

source.

And there are some people who should skip eating smoked meat altogether, such as pregnant

women, young children, people with cardiovascular issues, heart disease, high blood pressure, or

hypertension.

Also, people who have a history of cancer or at high risk of developing cancer.

And it's also important to choose the right wood for smoking your meat.

The best are hardwoods and fruit woods.

The using ease helps minimize the production of potentially harmful compounds and imparts

delicious flavor to your meat.

Woods that give a mild flavor include apple, ash, cherry, peach, and pear.

Medium flavors include hickory, pecan, and almond.

And strong flavored woods include black walnut, choke cherry, and mesquite.

It says here to avoid softwood like pine, cedar, and spruce.

They contain higher levels of resin and produce harsh bitter smoke along with releasing potentially

harmful compounds into your food.

It's from Baylor College of Medicine.

The National Library of Medicine says elevated cancer risks exist if you consume large amounts

of smoked meat over many years.

So most of us should be all right if we just eat smoked meat in moderation.

The golden mean, as it were, moderation in all.

I am doomed.

No.

No.

But it is one of those things to keep in mind.

And it is something I don't know that it is that much common knowledge that, like especially

just picking one thing out of this pregnant woman, not eating this.

I don't know that I ever heard that before.

Nope.

I had...

The get it from their doctor, I'm sure.

Sure.

Yeah, that's absolutely yeah.

Yeah.

Let me and Deli meet, just avoid them.

All right.

Yeah.

Now, if you want to find more about this information about this subject, there's a very

in-depth article on the National Library of Medicine website called Effect of Native American

Fish Smoking Methods on Dietary Exposure to Polycyclical, Aromic Hydrocarbons, or PAH,

and possibly risks to human health.

And it's very in-depth and technical.

But it's interesting.

It focuses on smoke salmon using traditional Native American methods.

They use different smoking structures and different types of wood.

Then compared the amount of PAHs measured in the smoke salmon, there are some and it

varies between methods and the wood used, versus commercially smoked salmon, which all

had lower levels of PAHs.

As Seth said earlier, the risk is higher if you consume large amounts of smoke meat for

many years.

You know Melissa loves us because she didn't give us that paragraph.

Yeah, that was nice.

That was really nice.

That was really nice of you.

That was really nice of you.

Since most of us don't need to cure and smoke meat to preserve it ourselves, let's talk

about smoking.

Is that the same thing as barbecuing?

Not smoking is a more extreme version of barbecuing.

According to suchef.co.uk, smoking is a form of cooking and preserving food using smoke

combined with low indirect heat.

That's contained in an enclosed space.

The temperatures used are lower than barbecuing, and the food is left to cook longer.

It's actually cooked from the smoke.

Now most girls have the ability to smoke meat, especially ones where you can set the

temperature and they regulate themselves.

You just need to be able to fully cover the grill with a hood to hold in the smoke.

Quote.

Since hot smoking is essentially a modified cooking technique, the primary food safety

concern is the safe handling of meat, poultry, and fish.

Michigan State University Extension recommends using only food grade contact surfaces for

the utensils and smoke or racks.

They go on to say, quote, only completely thought meat, poultry, and fish should be smoked.

If partially cooked meat is to be smoked, the smoking needs to be to take place right

after the cooking.

Two thermometers need to be used during the smoking process.

One thermometer measures the air temperature of the smoker.

The other thermometers used to monitor the food product temperature.

At the end of the smoking process, the meat and poultry should meet the same cooking temperatures

as traditional cooking methods.

Beef and pork roast must have an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

The three needs to have a final temperature of 165, but hot smoked fish must have a final

temperature between 150 to 160.

This is higher than the traditional cooking temperature of 145.

Since smoking is only a partial food preservation effect, fully cooked products need to be handled

just like freshly cooked meat.

The final product needs to be served right away or refrigerated.

To cool the meat quickly, large pieces need to be cut into smaller ones.

The refrigerated smoked meat product has a refrigeration shelf life of three to four days.

The freezer is the best option for long-term storage of smoked meat, but the freezer shelf

life is not as long as that of fresh cooked meat products.

That's kind of the opposite of what I would have thought.

Me too.

Yeah, that's fascinating.

Absolutely.

The smoked meats are partially preserved.

And we think of fire as a be-all-kill-all, you know, like, oh, the fire guy rid of it.

Oh, right.

It hot enough.

I'm sure it killed off any germs, or, you know, what could survive that?

So a lot of the, I love being able to talk smoked meats.

This has been a lot of fun and getting into some of the process and stuff.

But I think it's been very informative because of some of these other things we've heard

that I did not know, and I got to imagine some others didn't.

Mm-hmm.

Now, the Michigan State University Extension goes on to talk about hot smoked fish in particular.

If you're going to do that, you want to follow strict instructions.

There's a type of botulism that can be found in fish that still grows at refrigerator

temperatures, even after it's been smoked.

Yikes.

Be careful, everybody.

Right.

Can we just take a moment and thank all the people before us that had to go through all

these things to figure out where, you know, what worked and what didn't, and I mean,

pass that information down.

Yes, thank you.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you, science, and to all those scientists, whether they realize it or not, scientists,

those early answers, those people figuring these things out, like, hey, why is

Louie not moving?

Oh, okay.

I guess we don't do that anymore.

Nobody ate the smoked cod just don't do it.

Yeah, I mean, the trial and error back there was a lot more intense people.

That's a pretty impressive thing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

History.

Oh, boy.

So can we stop talking about the scariest stuff and just get into the recipes now?

I mean, I was trying to get us that way.

Right, right.

Good idea.

Let's talk first about the best cuts of meat to smoke.

Hey, grill.

Hey, grill.

Hey.

What a name.

Hey, grill.

Hey, calm.

Let's off.

Practically all the beef options from brisket and tript and try tip to chuck roast steak and

even meatloaf.

Hey, grill.

Hey, grill.

Hey, grill.

Hey, grill.

Hey, grill.

Hey, that's a great name.

That's it.

Wait, wait, wait, I'm sorry.

I got distracted.

Smoked meatloaf.

That's a thing.

Yes.

Well, but they add two tablespoons of Jack Daniel's whiskey and six ounces of pepper

jack cheese.

Oh, boy.

You seal the cheese in between two layers of meat mixture and create a sauce using half

cup ketchup, half cup brown sugar, quarter cup Jack Daniel's whiskey and two teaspoons

of crushed red pepper flakes.

You assemble the loaf on the grill basket so the smoke can penetrate all sides.

Pour the sauce over the top and smoke for about four hours or until it reaches internal

temperature of 165, oh my god, I want to do this right now.

It doesn't.

It sounds delicious.

It sounds really good.

Even for me, who really would struggle after eating this?

Especially the cheese.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Otherwise, I just a smoked meatloaf, even without the cheese.

I know.

Sounds delicious.

It would be awesome.

Mm-hmm.

That's a good one.

And now pork is another great option for smoking.

You can smoke ribs, pulled pork, pork loin, bacon, or my favorite pork tenderloin.

Let the recipe I want to share is one I can't eat.

Bacon wrapped armadillo eggs.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Okay, there's a left turn here.

Wow.

I'm going to get a little egg.

Okay.

It's not what you expect.

Oh, okay.

Going to www.hagrillhag.com because that's where I got all these recipes because they're

fun.

Armadillo eggs are a Texas barbecue staple.

So what it is is cream cheese stuffed jalapenos wrapped in pork sausage.

Now this recipe also wraps that little egg in bacon.

You preheat your smoker to 250 degrees and they recommend using a hardwood like hickory,

oak, or maple.

You place the bacon wrapped armadillo eggs right on the grill grids and smoke until they

reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Rest those babies for five minutes and dig in.

Those do sound good.

Why?

Really?

Man, it's Texas.

They know how to do there.

They're smoking and burning down there.

You're darn right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You're really going to get it right.

They do.

I don't know if you go to Texas, if you've never been there before, your first at least

dozen meals have to be cooked.

Have to be smoked.

Smoked.

Yeah, yeah.

At a barbecue.

Now let's not forget the chicken.

You can smoke a whole chicken or just the wings, drumsticks, um, drumsticks, thighs or chicken

breasts.

Chicken is actually one of the easiest meats to smoke because it's hard to mess up.

Smoke chicken breasts don't take a lot of time and produce juicy, tasty meat.

You can brine it first, but that adds another four hours to your cooking.

But the basic method is to pre-hate your cooker, your smoker to 225 season your chicken

and put it directly on the grill grates.

It takes approximately one hour to reach an internal temp of 160, uh, put, uh, pull it

off the grill and rest it under tinted foil until it reaches 165 slice and serve.

Yum.

Oh, delicious.

And enjoy.

Yes.

Make sure you do that.

And if you don't eat meat, you still have smoking options.

You can smoke corn or regular or sweet potatoes and even side dishes like beans or mac and

cheese smoked mac and cheese.

Oh, got to try that.

That sounds good.

Oh, my God.

I got to try that.

And of course, you can find any of these recipes that, hey, grill, hey, dot com.

It's part of the reason why I included that wasn't like so many times.

So, but I mean, still, that's only this of great recipes smoked mac and cheese.

That sounds fascinating.

I know we say that, well, there's a lot with these segments and everything.

I want to try all these.

I have to literally have to try that.

That sounds amazing.

Yeah.

It does.

There was also a recipe I found last week when I was doing, um, the other segment of grilled

carrots is as a replacement for hot dogs.

And I think if you add smoked, because you marinate them and it has to do with what you

marinate them in that actually makes them taste like hot dogs.

I think if you also then smoked them, they'd be even better.

Wow.

That sounds, you do hold show on that anyway.

Sorry.

Is there anything you can't smoke?

I don't think so, man.

I mean, I think we've done it all at this point.

We've seen ice cream.

You know, we've seen everything.

Oh, well, I think we'll end it here before James goes off on something.

Does the mother change it?

Go on.

Yes, smoke.

Yes, smoke.

Joining us today is for another segment of the kitchen's open.

If you'd like to become a sponsor of the segment, come to Pam at our front desk.

The number is 715-424-1300-424-1300, so we'll put you in touch with Ashley to work out

the specifics.

We'll feature your business during this segment and find interesting ways to promote

you along with a food item or topic, just call 715-424-1300.

And with that, we'll close the kitchen.

Yeah.

Another great one.

Another great one.

That was good.

That was a lot of fun.

I hope Kevin's happy.

That's on there.

Yeah, yeah.

His idea, right?

Some fantastic job by you.

Another great week, Melissa.

Nice to meet you.

Hearing from our listeners, always want to have feedback from you guys.

All right, keep it coming.

Keep those ideas coming, everybody.

We appreciate you.

And keep in mind that we're still looking for a segments producer for our sponsor for that.

Yes.

So keep that up and reach out to us.

Soon to be award-winning show.

Yes.

Yes.

We will come back with some entertainment news.

It's Melissa, Seth, and James right here on the morning show.

Tell me something good.

Welcome back, everyone.

Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Time to dive into some entertainment.

I was thinking of asking you, Seth, to have the entertainer lined up here, so that every

time we go into entertainment, it's like, oh, yeah, that would be fun.

I don't know if I'm really aging myself.

I don't know whether or not.

It's a good song.

Yeah.

It is a classic.

It is a classic.

And Beyonce might have some modern classics on her new album.

It is doing very well.

And if you want to take a break from Taylor Swift, Beyonce has a new album out.

It has 27 songs on it or something like that.

I know.

It's in the huge, yeah.

And it's time for Beyonce to show you how much influence she has.

This is something that's quite interesting to me when it comes to the influence of pop

stars or music in general or anything like that.

If you're curious of how big Beyonce is, you know, how big her star, her status is.

Beyonce's new track, she has a lot of guest stars on this one.

Post Malone is on one called Levi's Jeans.

And actually boosted Levi Strauss Stockprice.

Oh my god.

A 20% jump in Levi's sales after this song released.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But he said, quote, we place a lot of emphasis on investment in making sure that Levi brand

remains at the center of culture.

And I don't think there is any better evidence of proof of point than having someone like

Beyonce who is a cultural shaper actually name a song after us.

He called her a cultural shaper.

And I really like that.

That's a cool.

That's actually kind of a cool.

That's cool.

Yeah.

It's pretty app.

Yeah.

It's pretty good.

I've heard most of the album and I've heard a number of friends and people I respect

in the music industry reviewing the album and talking about it.

And it's an incredible album.

I don't know if what happened in the product, they took them five years to make this album.

And I don't know if in the process where, what things happened, what went on, how much

life changes.

You have this idea and then life happens so you change and change and change.

I think it is a, get a lot of country influence to it.

And I would not fight somebody if they called it a country album.

I also wouldn't fight them if they said it was an experimental album or a music album

or whatever.

Whatever.

You know, we get way caught up in what is this and what is that stuff when none of us own

country music or rap music or any music.

It's all of ours.

Yeah.

It's all of ours.

Absolutely.

And I'm also not going to go against Dolly Parton.

If Dolly Parton calls it a country album, good enough for me.

Good enough.

She's a good bell weather.

Two real quick takeaways.

First of all, what were you just saying about how influential someone like a Beyonce Taylor

or all these people?

Really amazing.

Fascinating, by the way, a little side note, there all seem to be women these days that are

the biggest influencers.

That's really interesting.

Second of all, stock prices is meaningless.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The stock market is meaningless.

It does not has nothing to do with reality.

Yeah.

While the economy is or anything like that, it's just based on junk like this.

Yeah.

That's all it is.

It's such a silly thing that we're still doing that has no science behind it.

It has nothing behind it.

We're supposed to be getting smarter and better as a culture and yet we continue to do

things that are just, I'm sorry, kind of dumb.

They just are.

Like, there's got to be a better way than the stock market to be able to decide these

things.

Shoot.

We talked about this with Taylor Swift.

Her tour, this isn't us like just throwing this out there or anything like, there's proof

to this.

Taylor Swift's like a movie tour and like this tour, not only say, it saves some venues.

There are like the concert, the concert industry in general, like was healthier than it

has been in years because of her tour.

Like these, these women and, you know, other, other influences like our game changers,

like they are, they are true.

What's, as he said, cultural shapers.

It's quite interesting to me to see that.

Like, it's one thing like, oh, I saw Taylor Swift or Beyonce wearing this and I want

to wear it.

That's one thing.

What, I mean, when you're changing stock prices or you're doing, or you're changing

like industries, next, in this next year, you wait, there is going to be a ton of tour

movies.

You're going to see a lot more of that.

Yeah.

I think you're right.

Taylor Swift.

Yeah, they go in waves.

They tend to do that.

But, oh, man, you're so right.

How about that?

How about the confluence of the sudden ascendancy of women's sports, calling sports?

Yeah.

We saw, and I'm not just talking about basketball right now.

Look what happened last fall with volleyball, all of a sudden, seemingly out of nowhere,

being a big spike in popularity, women's volleyball.

And now it's continuing on and going, I mean, it's something really interesting, it's fascinating

to watch.

During playmakers today from three to four, be sure to join us.

And about three, fifteen, we are going to be joined today by John Arias.

Arias?

Arias, I think it's him.

He's a broadcaster for the Wisconsin women's basketball team.

Many of you have known him over the years.

He's been doing this in 2012.

One of the things I want to talk about with him is seeing the rise of women's college sports

from that position.

I'm curious to see here.

It's really cool.

It's going to be a fun interview.

I'm looking forward to him joining us a little bit later.

There's no better way to celebrate today's total solar eclipse than Pink Floyd's Dark Side

of the Moon.

I don't know.

Makes sense.

I get it.

Imagine listening to the closing line, man, right when the eclipse is happening, and everything

under the sun isn't tuned, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

As it literally is happening, mind blown.

To figure out what time to expect the eclipse in your location, head over to nasa.com.

If you're using Spotify, you'll want to start the album 41 minutes and 53 seconds before

this start of the eclipse.

For example, if you're in the Eastern time zone, you'll want to start the album at about

a 232.

The eclipse is expected to start at 314.

If you don't like listening to the entire album, you can just start the last song eclipse,

70 seconds before.

It is the best song on the album, if you ask me.

I think so.

That's cool.

Are we going to start getting now, like, you know, the whole Wizard of Oz, the dark side

of the moon thing is now, no, man, they actually did it for an eclipse.

Yeah, I like that.

They timed it out for an eclipse, man.

I have to admit, in high school, I did do the whole Pink Floyd dark side of the moon syncing

up with Wizard of the Oz.

Wizard of the Oz.

Wizard of the Oz.

I like that, though.

It was a whole different side movie.

And it actually was kind of cool, like, like, the whole thing wasn't cool.

There was plenty of moments where it's just like, it didn't line up at all, right?

But when the catching of money happens and everything goes to color, that was kind of

cool.

That's kind of cool.

There's a couple of moments.

The moon to tick is on the hill and the scarecrow is dancing right at that moment.

Yeah, yeah.

There was a couple of cool moments.

I don't know if it's worth sitting there for a whole album, though.

No.

Plus, you have to replay the album.

Yeah.

Because it runs out long before the movie's over, yeah.

But those little moments were kind of cool.

I don't begrudge anybody that wants to try to do this, but it does feel like one of those

things where you get done and you're kind of like, huh, all right, I did that.

Go make myself lunch now.

Get back on that.

Yeah.

You'll smoke some meat.

Make a peanut butter and jolly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Enjoy everybody.

Enjoy.

And if you're looking for something to do after the eclipse and, you know, keep your

endorphins up and you're, you know, happiness, you're good.

Well, check out what the muppets, check out the podcast, what the muppet, everything.

Yeah.

Wherever you get your podcasts, check it out, download it, listen in and thank you so

much for subscribing and checking it out.

If you're interested in the YouTube page and checking out the video that goes along with

this, you can go to what the muppet, just type in your YouTube search bar, what the

muppet, and subscribe and like.

Well, I can tell you one thing.

This week's episode is 100% Seth free, so take that for what you will.

We had a lot of fun working with you, man.

Thank you so much for doing that.

That was fun.

I do.

But Brea brought up something this weekend and I have to warn you, Melissa, you are going

to be the next one that we want to bring all.

It's not fair for us to bring Seth's on, not you.

You're going to have to do it up.

You might have to do an episode with us.

I'm just warning you.

You might have to.

How much did she know about the muppets, though?

I asked you.

I asked you.

That we were talking about and not knowing, neither Brea, obviously, really wouldn't know

and I wasn't sure either, but I was like, no, that's going to make it even more fun.

Oh, okay.

If Melissa knows nothing about muppets, I think that would be even more fun than if she

was like an expert.

We've already had experts.

That's true.

We already had plenty of that and everything.

But we'll see.

We'll see.

She's a very busy person, so we don't want to put you on the spot there, Melissa.

I wasn't trying to do that.

I was trying to let you in on the conversation because Brea was very excited about the idea.

And episode 36, just drop this morning, go ahead and check it out, but I don't think so.

The title of the, I see what she did there.

She doesn't tell me half the time.

Sometimes she asked me what the label is and then other times she just doesn't.

But I don't think so is a reference to the Monk theme song that came up during our podcast.

And if you've listened to me on the airwaves here before, you know how I feel about that theme

song, we got into it quite a bit on that episode.

Yes.

It was probably our most divisive moment as a father and daughter.

I'm not even kidding.

It's all about a theme show.

Yeah.

It's all about a theme song.

All about a theme song.

I thought our podcast was actually going to end right then and there.

There was a moment where I wasn't sure.

He just walks out.

I'm done.

I'm done.

I thought she was going to walk out.

And it's in her house.

We're filming.

Yeah.

When she didn't go.

Check out what's the bathroom.

What the Muppet, wherever you get your podcast and of course on the YouTube, type in

your search bar, what the Muppet and thank you so much to everybody who has subscribed

and liked the page.

Oh.

We'll get into our schedule and some other great local stuff coming up.

We've also got to get into a couple of more things with our solar clips like the 12

solar clips movies you can watch.

Okay.

And a clip songs to listen to.

All right.

But are not dark side of the book.

On dark side of it.

Right.

Coming up.

Add in a morning show here at WFHR.

Welcome back everyone.

Morning show here at WFHR locally grown radio.

Seth, Melissa, James here with you.

We hope you're having a good one out there.

Let's talk a little music and movies as we get into the solar clips entertainment.

Solar clips movies.

Solar clips movies.

Solar clips sunglasses.

Yeah.

What are we going to do after the eclipse?

What are we going to talk about?

Nothing.

Well, that was a great eclipse.

Yeah.

That was great.

Well, we're done.

Happy total solar eclipse day to com to com commemorate the day.

Ultimate classic rock put together a list of 12 movies that feature solar eclipses.

And so, okay.

That's good.

So we're just going to go through this list.

No, no particular order.

At number 12, Lady Hawk from 1985.

Yes.

I got it.

Lady Hawk.

I'm the only person that loves this movie.

Yes, you are.

Absolutely.

I love that movie.

Love it.

It's also the worst music ever accompanied to it.

It's a worst like soundtrack.

They had a good idea and it just didn't work.

The movie is kind of set in like that Lord of the Rings kind of like yeah, sort of thing

that mythical fantasy era, yeah.

But the music is all 80 synth pop.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Melissa.

It's rough.

But you got a great young Matthew Bronzer.

I was going to say it's a Matthew Bronzer.

Yeah.

And Michelle Pfeiffer.

And Michelle Pfeiffer.

And Michelle Pfeiffer.

I think interesting love stories of the curse that Rucker Howard and Michelle Pfeiffer's

characters.

I love them.

I don't care.

I like going.

All right.

The seventh sign from 1988.

Yeah.

Okay.

Pitch Black from 2000.

Yeah.

You got a young Vin Diesel in that one.

Oh, that's right.

Wow.

I was a sucker for those pitch black movies.

I'll admit it.

Demi Moore was in the seventh sign.

That's right.

I've forgotten about that.

Oh, wow.

That's hilarious movie from 2022.

2002.

Okay.

I didn't.

I never saw it.

No.

I think they actually like see the eclipse.

Don't they?

Or maybe I'm.

You got me on that one.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Didn't see that one.

Wolf Creek from 2005.

Laura Croft.

The Tomb Raider from 2001.

Oh, okay.

You should watch that movie anytime.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Angelina Jolie.

Anytime else.

I'll watch.

But especially if she's in action movies.

I love her in action movies.

Good job.

She is good.

The Tomb Raider was one of the greater, better.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Really.

I couldn't play them myself because I was not coordinated enough.

But I liked watching my brothers play them.

Yeah.

I like playing those.

Those are fun games.

If that Laura Croft movie with starring Angelina Jolie comes out today.

There got like four or five more of those coming out.

Yeah.

Like the way we have become about sequels and all that.

And especially video games that are done well.

There's not a lot of video games that are done well anymore.

No.

No, really.

Period.

So that would do huge right now.

Avatar, the way of water from 2022.

Fantasia from 1940.

Wow.

That's a good one.

Oh.

What part has it eclipse in it?

Oh.

Now I remember.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That still holds up.

I've always loved it.

The first time I saw it.

Yes.

Agreed.

Yeah.

Apocalypse from 2006.

Okay.

And then the top three.

Like Rogue One.

Yeah.

Oh.

That was one of the first ones I thought of.

That's right.

Oh.

I haven't seen that movie in a long time.

I've got to watch it.

I can tell you how many times I've watched that movie.

You would not be.

You would not respect me.

Well, you would.

No, it's a good movie, dude.

I'm up with you.

At number two, Little Shop of Horrors from 1986.

Finn, Missy Mo.

Oh, wow.

I haven't seen that so long.

I don't even remember that part.

I don't remember that part at all.

No.

I watched that movie a bunch.

And I don't remember that movie.

I heard that part.

I don't know not sure which part.

And at number one, I think it's pretty obvious.

One 2001, A Space Odyssey from 1968.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

If you've seen that movie, you would remember.

That makes sense.

It's definitely one of those things that you would remember.

Now, how about the music?

What about the music?

All right.

Let's take a look at that.

So again, Ultimate Classic Rock put this list together.

If you're curious.

And again, if you were curious, the Total Solar Eclipse.

Another one isn't going to happen until 2044.

So part of the reason why I think a lot of people are excited.

And they want a soundtrack.

Like Black Star from David Bowie to be playing.

Ooh.

That's a good one.

You're so vain from Carly Simon.

Yeah.

Like a total eclipse.

Like, doesn't she say eclipse in that song?

She wants something.

I'm trying to remember, though.

I have a lyrics anyway.

I'm stuck.

I got Black Star stuck in my head.

Yeah.

That song is one of those songs from me.

That's a great tune.

It's such a good song.

And if you've seen him like his last concert.

He performed that in Heroes.

And you hear him singing that song.

Right.

He's the only one that knows.

You know, it's incredible.

Yeah.

Dancing in the dark from Bruce Springsteen.

Okay.

That's good.

Yeah.

I like that song too.

Ain't no sunshine from Bill Withers.

Ooh.

Ain't no sunshine which he's gone.

I can be in the greatest mood in the world.

And that song comes on.

And immediately, like, almost every heartbreak

I've ever had pops in my head.

Are you Bill Withers?

I love that song, but it's almost too good.

It's almost too good.

It's almost too good.

It's great.

Don't let the sun go down on me from Elton John.

That's a good one, yep.

Of course, he clips from Pink Floyd.

Uh, I don't want to say.

Blinded by the light from Afterman's Earth Band.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know you were not a fan of that one.

I just played it too much.

Oh, classic rock.

Oh, yeah.

Growing up hearing my dad play it a bunch

and then playing it a bunch myself

where they played it on the radio station.

And every day.

We're all proud of you.

We're all proud of you.

We're all proud of you.

We're all proud of you.

Uh, Black Hole Sun from Soundgarden.

Yes.

Of course.

Of course.

We've got to listen to that.

At least, like, once every couple of months, I think.

Iron Maiden's totally clips.

Yeah.

That makes sense.

And at number one, of course, same with me.

I know.

I know what it is.

Yes, yes, yes.

Totally clips of the heart.

Totally clips of the heart.

Yeah.

Everybody Tyler.

Hey, that was almost a meatloaf song.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All of meatloaf stuff.

Yeah.

Does that song have a...

Steinman, sorry.

Is it bigger or not if meatloaf does it?

Because I think that because of his other hits,

I don't think it's as big of a song as it is, as if she does it.

And I think in part, it's because of the way Bonnie sings it.

I think it's part of it, too.

By the way, by the way, there's a perfect day to do it everyone.

You need to watch the video of a total of clips of the heart.

Because it is the most 80s, crazy whack job video you have ever seen in your life.

That one and safety dance by men without hats.

Those are the two videos you have to watch today.

Because they are insane.

Safety dance is absolutely.

Not only one of that, it's one of the weirder.

So weird.

They're both weird.

They're both just weird, man.

I really like that one.

We do want to send a shout out to the best listeners and radio.

All of you out there.

Good shout out to our friend, Kevin.

Melissa, Kevin sent a message to us.

Thank you, Melissa.

Made me extremely hungry and going to smoke something this coming weekend.

Oh, that's good.

Awesome.

Your plan worked.

How about that?

We'll check it with our partners.

We're going to come back.

And we've got a couple of any right stories, including one.

Are teenagers responsible enough to babysit these days?

We're going to get into that and plenty more.

Up on the morning show at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Welcome back to the show.

Morning show here at WFHR, locally grown radio.

Melissa, Seth and James here with you.

Thanks for joining us, everybody.

We're going to take it to the top of the hour.

Got some good stuff coming up for you.

Then it writes story on the way.

But I really wanted to get this one in.

A lot of parents use apps or websites to hire adults now when it comes to kids watching kids.

And it's not as common as it used to be.

We don't have as much of this as we did when we were all growing up.

Right.

Because the worried teens aren't responsible enough.

Or might get distracted and watch videos on their phone and a lot of these things.

Someone asked over 30,000 adults if they think teenager babysitters are more or less trustworthy than 50 years ago.

And only 9% said more.

39% said less trustworthy.

32% said about the same.

And 20% said that they're not sure.

For a lot of us, babysitting was the first job we ever had.

And a lot of us did it.

So it's a big change.

56% of adults say that they got paid to babysit at least once as a teen.

That includes 70% of women and 42% of men.

Wow.

Okay.

70% of women.

Wow.

Let's just press.

Wow.

I don't know.

It's just a large number.

I was like, wow.

That's fascinating.

I will be very, you know, my kids are in their mid 20s.

So I don't deal with this as much or anything.

And I will say that I think that there is some obvious.

It's understandable any parent having any concern just about, like period.
